Wow!  How quickly has that last week gone?  The whole week seemed to be taken up with visiting the sick and infirm, helping Alison with her issues, work and attending to other personal matters.  I really did not have time to turn round and catch my breath. I had a call on Thursday from a friend (also a client) who was suffering with a back injury and during the call I did a silent Reiki treatment.  On Friday she called to say that she was feeling much better so I then offered to do a full healing treatment for her on Sunday when we visited her house which she welcomed. Unfortunately (my own fault) I did not advise her that before the treatment she should not consume any alcohol and when we arrived on Sunday she was walking round with a glass filled with a mix of wine and an energy drink.  I gave her an apology for not telling her and I advised that as a result of the alcohol I had to postpone the session to another date. She was fine about that and the rest of t...

Hi and welcome to the first part in a series of posts about my life as the presenter of radio shows and the twists and turns along the way...... I thought that this way I could provide a small insight into another aspect of my life  - that of "The Merlin" - presenter on  Cauldron FM (The Sound Of Magick)   and  Capstone Radio - the sound of the North Devon Coast I began my radio "career" over 20 years ago when I was invited to be a guest on a radio station that was broadcasting under a Restricted Service Licence (meaning it was allowed to broadcast on FM for 4 weeks.  It was designed to provide a community based broadcast. The one I joined was HaltonFM and it was broadcasting to Runcorn / Widnes and part way towards Warrington. The presenter of the show I was on was a man called Dave Pichilingi (a name that was destined to become quite well known).  He went on to be a significant player within the local community - becoming a senior member of the staff at P...

Hi it's DAve Well after a really nice weekend the time has come to go back to work but thankfully it is only a four day week. Yesterday  as I was walking up to collect my car from where it had been parked all over the weekend.  I spotted this in a tree - lined avenue in Ilfracombe.  I don't know what other people think but I personally think it is a thing of beauty. ©2021 Wytchwynd Photography I was going to add something else today but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was.  So on that note I am going to say BFN (Bye For Now) and I will be back again soon. Have a great day, Be safe, be careful and above all DON'T PREDICT THE FUTURE - CREATE IT! DAve

  Hi it's Dave and welcome to my Personal Blog  ©2016 wytchwynd photography I have been pondering this point since I found it written in an old book of Gratitude that I completed some 3 years ago.  The original concept first came to my attention some time earlier in a publication by Lewis Howes that I was researching for a project I was creating. My personal challenge was to identify what my own 3 (personal) truths were at the time of writing BUT obviously something happened to distract me because I did not get round to answering the question and writing the affirmation statements to go with them. So in the light of this, today I am going to rectify that situation and so - why don't you join me and do it for yourself? That said here are my own 3 TRUTHS (they are still the same now as they were 3 years ago):- 1) Integrity        2) Gratitude         3) Service and the affirmation statements that accompany them are:- Each day I...

Hi and welcome to today's post I was reading through some old bits and pieces and I came across a comment that I posted on my Instagram a couple of years ago. It is so simple and yet so many people fail to do it - and that surprises me! Just a few words and yet they convey such a great message      "If you do not speak, people will never hear you!"

Hi have you ever had one (or two) of those days when you feel that a lot of the people around you are just an inconvenience?   Or you think  that things are  "out to get you"  and you feel quite down. You know the type I mean where you just want to get on with the things that you want to get on with, but people have other ideas.  I call those "umpty flump*" days and I have been having a 24 hour one! It feels like being under a cloud. *umpty flump was a phrase from a children's television series called The Flumps
